. .. and then whether the people who use sign language see little hands in their head when they think about what somebody said, or do they hear the words in their heads?

:lol:

GAH!!!!!!!

OMG!!!!...the OMG thread 2 summers ago??? :unsure:

:( wish i'd been there. Read some last yr tho!! PhhhhhhhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuNNY!!!!

Phautauoumgmn!!!

:lol: :lol: THAT's gotta be a record!!!!!

The Crown of Superfluousity goes to thee!!

(Actually it's probably 3 or 4 nested crowns where one would suffice)

:blink: what in hell?????????????? a baked dingo brain is beyond miserable

:huh: :huh:

I couldn't beLIEVE I got this so wrong, so I searched <_<

It's just that, I think I become slightly delirious and more - approachable, maybe? -

with an overcooked and wilted brain. Also maybe more giggly.

Wait. that isn't true. I"m always giggly. Does the baked brain make one GIDDY? :P

:lol: I guess I extrapolated too much from this.

NO DAMMIT!! I *swear* there was more on the plusses of a baked brain from you while I was hating ALL aspects of the Phoenix heat!

<confuzzled now>

My interesting-food free Edna is going quite well.

And effective as in still remarkably pain-free??

.. .. ..but I just bought this hat!

I always find this interesting . . . if I had to eat the same food everyday, would I be overweight? We always free-fed my dog Maggie. She always stayed the same weight. My vet complimented me on keeping her at her ideal weight. I told her that we free feed and she told me "Never mind" then she turned to Maggie and gave her a good neck rub and talked to her in a dog voice and complimented Her on keeping herself at her ideal weight. Now, Josie is a different story, she would just keep eating, even though it's the exact same thing every day. I have a feeling I'm a Josie and not a Maggie.

My guess is, if you were eating the same food as Josie, you would happily self-limit.

Even more pain-free. Far more motivating than something silly, like avoiding a heart attack or fitting into a size 2 (OK, not even my skeleton would fit into a size two, but you get the picture).

OMG - I have to go pick up a few things at Walmart - - and I am soooooooo askeert of what sorts of Hershey's products I'll come home with......haven't had nuggets in at least a month.......could easily eat a whole bag today.......

:blink:Nuggets

My interesting-food free Edna is going quite well. Have had a few breakdowns wherein I just couldn't stand it any more and ate some fruit (warning for TV munchers- don't choose a bag of prunes as your mindless eating companion :ph34r: ) but mostly I've been good. Just finished my mid-afternoon snack of a bell pepper.

Good job Jess :D

My Edna is also rolling along nicely, but there have been those moments where I'd rather just not eat than have something "allowed" again. I hear ya on that.

I'm lucky, in that I can eat fruit (except citrus), so I use that to calm my sweet tooth. I bought some nectarines yesterday that are heavenly. It's funny because I was never much for fruit--it always upset my stomach (or so I thought) so I got out of the habit of eating it. Now, I'm discovering fruit all over again. :)

I'm losing a little weight and the clothes are fitting looser-- blood pressure is also responding so I'm on the right track. I do firmly believe that my body does. not. like. grains. Any grains, really and truly. For me and my issues, the grain free diet (and very low sodium) seem to be the ticket :D

Gawd--that was more than ya'll wanted to know but once I got rolling........ :lol:

Good for you too Patti :D

The nectarines sound yummy!

My edna has been in the crapper :ph34r: I have been eating whatever until I got my allergy test results back......which I just learned no gluten for sure, no gliadin containing grains, NOT even rice. So there will be no grains for me either :(

I've been doing great with the exercise part though, so at least there's progress there :D

Sorry about the grains, but honestly I feel better in so many ways without them.

She seems to be all legs. Does that fit with the rest of your family? Does she prefer wine-sicles to the more conventional way of consuming it?

:lol:

Should have jammed a big stick in that wine bottle.....one mega-dreamsicle.....

Elsie does indeed look like a baby deer. All legs, in every direction. :rolleyes::lol:

There's ELSIE!!!!!! Looking very content w/ a touch of "where's my HAIR?!!

I'm lucky, in that I can eat fruit (except citrus), so I use that to calm my sweet tooth. I bought some nectarines yesterday that are heavenly.

D'oh! I was thinking TANgerines at first!! :wacko:

The first poodle that my mom and dad ever had always hid under the sofa for a couple of days after a scalping hair-cut

Heheheheheehee :lol: :lol: that sounds like ME as a little kid!!!! Mom was giving us buzzcuts but I wanted hippie-hair! :D:lol:

I think I won out by 2nd or 3rd grade, but before that didn't want to go out to play for a couple days after a haircut!!

<kids!>

Actually, we still haven't decided how on earth glue keeps from sticking to the inside of that bottle.....is it due to a TLR signal, Jess? :rolleyes:

To me the REAL mystery is wth they're thinking in a movie when a very visible beaker contains an alleged invisibility potion :blink:

:lol: Jess said wine-sicles

I've been doing great with the exercise part though, so at least there's progress there :D

Yeah! Way to go! :)

Good times, very good times

:lol: forgot to comment on this earlier............and yeah, that does about sum it up.....also dingos and auxigro-detecting geese protecting our cult-town-by-the-sea :lol:

I also find it curious that I times I know I could plow through an entire bag of chips, but couldn't possibly put one more nut in my mouth. Interesting to ponder if these are emotional eating cues, or preservative-enhanced eating cues.

:ph34r: very timely that you should mention this, Jess, as I have just returned from Walmart nugget-less, but with a half-eaten bag of barbecue potato chips. Why half-eaten, you ask? because that's what happened on the way home....................oyyyyyyyyyyyy.............help me...............and I'm having a Kissey-less night so - who's goign to stop me???????????????????? :ph34r::ph34r:

I don't understand dogs and their weight issues.......Weezee is on such a limited-quantity diet, and yet she is a big, fat, potato spud. :huh: Of course, she does have her hobbies, which include ravaging anything she can reach in the recycle bin, or snacks accidentally left around.......

You know, she has no interest in a bed. So funny.....she stretches out on the hardwood floor, and sighs contentedly. I think she's just so happy to be out of a crate...she was in one all night at her old home, and whenever she was alone in the house. There is absolutely NO need for this...she doesn't chew anything, she is totally house trained....

....And she's very thin. No Edna for this girl.....

:) SOOOOOOOOOOO happy she's with you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look at her, she looks serene, relieved, relaxed, refreshed, and very, very leggy. :lol: She must be the happiest thing alive......................yay! :)

Oh....all is so GOOD in Sillyville! Julie's gotten onto her treadmill, Patti and Jess are responding positively to their Ednas, Susie's got some chips, Ptaoughmn's haircut no longer finds him hiding under the dining room table.....all good.

It would be PERFECT if King Peter can tell us that he finished all of his parking lot line-painting...

Just the opposite of my DD, Briana. By age 5 she had long, thick, beautiful hair. But she was always bugging me to cut it short :( I would only cut a little and soon she'd be bugging me to cut more and more off. It wasn't until she was grown that she confessed to me that she would intentionally move while I was cutting so it would end up crooked and I would have to cut more to even it out <_<

She is Tuppence. We rescued her six years ago when she was 12 weeks old. I may be the king here in Sillyville, but at our house the cats rule. The males are 12 and 10 and are pretty relaxed. Tuppence is very demanding, and competes with three-year-old Riley for the role of Queen. Then there are two more females that live at our store.

The census by species:

Humans: 2

Cats: 6

Fish (Betta): 1

And, yes, you can be sure that Tuppence is watching. B)

Well, I did. It is a small lot, four spaces in all, perpendicular to the front wall. Five lines to paint using a roller on a long handle. The whole exercise, including watching it dry, took less than two hours.

I probably should have used this quote, in case I confused anyone :blink:

Lisa, you want to make sure you have your own fluid onslaught (whatever it may be) and not let Emily end up owing you one because she got yours . . . Have you noticed her high post count? Her next big turnover will most likely require some sort of insurance mandated clean-up. You don't want that!!!! Keep yer own . . . even if you have to rig it . . . oops, I spilled a glass of milk on the floor . . . darn it, the ballcock is malfunctioning. I shall have to go to Lowes and buy a new one so the toilet doesn't keep running . . . believe me, it'll be worth it.

Well, early mornings are quiet. We started at 9:00 and all the paint was laid out by 10:30. I did watch for it to dry as I worked my way across the lot, moving the pylons, to make sure that at least two of the four spaces were usable at all times. The paint is specific for the purpose, and is touch dry in less than 30 minutes. It is latex based too, so cleaning up is a breeze.

Perfect!!

A little late, ~ post 116. Little muss/fuss - I like Janet's idea. Better to rig a minor fluid mishap than leave it to the Fates.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
